islamabad – Walt Disney Animation is continuing a long-standing tradition, unveiling a new animated short film attached to the upcoming Raya and the Last Dragon.
The studio has released the first photo from the upcoming short film Us Again, which fans can see when Raya and the Last Dragon hits theaters on March 5, and will arrive on Disney Plus in June. Big Hero 6’s head of animation Zach Parrish directs the short film, revealing how he was inspired to tell this story.
Us Again will be Walt Disney Animation’s first theatrical short film in five years, since 2016’s Inner Workings, which was attached to Moana. The short film follows an elderly couple named Art and Dot, who become young at heart for one magical night through dance. Us Again is entirely told through dance, with no dialogue and composer Pinar Toprak (Captain Marvel) delivering a ‘funk and soul-infused score.’ Parrish also collaborated with dancers Keone and Mari Madrid, who have worked with Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish and choreographed the dances for the film.
